up with a message, written in Chinese that peruses basically: ‘I dare not do it
again!’ – and after backlash staff said” it was just a rat’
A shop proprietor has concocted
an odd method for "punishing" stealing rodents - by "shaming"
them with small signs announcing their violations.
Photos of live rats tied up with
notes tied around their necks showed up on China's Twitter-like small scale
blogging website Weibo.
The photos are supposed to have
been taken in Heyuan city in south eastern China's Guangdong Province.

again!'
What's more, another, with the
rat tied by each of its appendages similarly, with a lengthier message that
peruses: 'Huh, is this the best you could do?
'Even if you beat me to death, I
would not admit that the rice at your home had been stolen by me.'
The photos, transferred by a
Weibo client, were inscribed "A friend of mine found a small rat in the warehouse
of a convenience store.
"After [it] was arrested, it
was shamed with a poster. Poor rat! How will it celebrate the Lunar New
Year?"
They later told MailOnline that
the rodent was gotten and hung by staff at an accommodation shop and that they
were amazed at the immense response to the photos on the web.
While his name has not been
uncovered, he included: "Some people pitied the rat, some people hated the
rat, and some people found it to be funny.
"I pity the rat. It's just a
small animal. It would almost certainly die being treated like this."
Lai Tiancai, the proprietor of
the shop, guarded the moves made by staff, saying it was 'only a rodent'.
A year ago, a Chinese couple shot
themselves in a video tying up a mouse and interrogating it' in the wake of
blaming it for stealing bananas.
